I was at a dinner in London given in honor of one of the most celebrated English army men of his time, General Scoresby. I couldn't describe my 1 when I saw this great and famous man. There he sat, the man himself, 2, all covered with medals（奖章）.
Next to me sat an old friend of mine. There was a 3 look on his face as he said to me in a very low voice—"Privately, Scoresby is a completely 4 man."
This came as a 5 to me. But I was sure that my friend always spoke the truth. So, I wanted to 6 more about our hero.
These are his exact words:
About forty years ago, I was a teacher in the military（部队的）school at Woolwich, when young Scoresby was given his first examination. I felt 7 sorry for him. Everybody answered the questions well, wisely, 8 he did not know anything. Then, the Crimean War broke out. He joined the army. To 9 the nation and him, I joined up with him.
The battle（战斗）grew 10. One mistake now would bring total failure. And what did Scoresby do this time —he just 11 his left hand for his right hand…that was all. An order came for him to fall back and support our right. 12, he moved forward and went over the hill to the left. And what happened—those surprised Russians thought it must be the whole British army. They ran away in great disorder, and we ran after them. In no time, there was the greatest 13 you ever saw. We turned failure into a sweeping and shining 14.
Scoresby became famous that day as a great military leader— 15 all over the world. That honor will never disappear while history books last.
